Hey everyone! Long-time reader, first time poster :-P
When I first got my Z last spring the hatch opened normally, but lately it would not open far enough to clear the latch unless I lifted while holding the release button (tough to do with a handful of grocery bags). I called the dealership and mentioned the TSB, but they said they'd have to look at it on a weekday, which seems ridiculous since it took me 2 minutes to fix after reading this thread. Of course this was the same service rep who always stares blankly at me when I ask for anything more complicated than an oil change. Anyway I'll see if I can get the longer springs for free when I go for scheduled maintenance next weekend. I'll take the pennies out first of course - using 2 per side seems to work for now, but I'll have to watch and make sure the rubber bellows don't fall off since they were originally glued to the upper part of the assembly. 4 cents vs. $64... the370z.com is 1600 times more cost-effective than Nissan! :-D |

My 09 has now begun doing this very thing. I bought my car as a returned lemon car for this very issue... Got the car for a great price for such a small nuisance, but I figured they would have fixed this issue before reselling it...
Have owned the car just over a year.

Mine does this every time. I didn't even realize there was a TSB for this. Gonna see if they'll just send me the new springs and I'll swap them myself. Glad I found this....been hard juggling bags and getting the hatch open.

Cold weather will cause it to stick more frequently. Said it before, video tape it and playback at dealership for TSB repair......I will be going on my second hatch springs. The first replacement lasted about 18 months.

Bumping this alive...
Went to my dealer today for an oil change/consumption test and also the rear hatch TSB... The TSB is in effect for all 2009's and still active so the dealer is ordering new springs and will call me when they are in to replace free of charge... just wanted to keep used buyers in the loop like myself who have an '09 with this issue... Also oil consumption is being monitored by my dealer now but it only seems to be half a quart every 1,000-1,500 as long as i watch it regularly and get routine oil changes every 3-4K should be fine...
